You want to write elements into an attribute value. Why? Why not escaped
markup? This is not well-formed XML and cannot be achived with vanilla XSLT.
Either you output

<input name="lastEvent" type="checkbox" value="
&lt;programmer&gt;
...

by using a XML serializer written in XSLT (e.g.
<http://www.xmlportfolio.com/xml-to-string/>), or if you absolutely need

<input name="lastEvent" type="checkbox" value="
<programmer>
...

Then use the above method in conjunction with a result tree serializer that
doesn't escape the output for that particular element. IIRC, Saxon also has an
extension to use DOE in xsl:attribute.
